Background: Chemoresistance is still the main reason for the failure of breast cancer treatment and is the main cause of death of breast cancer patients. Although many studies have shown the association between genetic polymorphisms of PTEN and chemotherapy resistance, the molecular mechanism of breast cancer chemotherapy has not been further studied. This study aims to investigate the potential association between PTEN gene polymorphism and breast chemotherapy resistance in the Chinese population, and explore whether alternative splicing of the PTEN gene is affected by the gene polymorphism. Methods: The study included 234 patients with breast cancer chemotherapy, 157 chemotherapy sensitive cases and 77 chemotherapy resistant cases. rs786204926 of PTEN gene was analyzed by Sanger sequence and Sequenom MassArray typing technology. Furthermore, we used silicon analysis to predict whether polymorphism affects the process of alternative splicing and to analyze how it affects. Results: In genotyping and allelic analysis, there was a significant association between rs786204926 polymorphism and breast cancer chemotherapy resistance. Carrying the G allele or AG genotype will reduce the risk of breast cancer-based resistance to chemotherapy with anthracyclines. Silicon analysis showed that the mutation of rs786204926 produced a new receptor site, which might affect alternative splicing of PTEN gene. Conclusions: We speculate that the mechanism of breast cancer chemotherapy resistance might be caused by a change in the alternative splicing caused by the rs786204926 of the PTEN gene. Thus, our study might provide theoretical guidance for the individualized treatment of clinical breast cancer patients. |
